EVA DUDA DANCE COMPANY and the NATIONAL DANCE THEATRE BUDAPEST present:

BABEL

The production BABEL seeks to capture the emotional state of individuals and communities facing the social challenges of the 21st century. In many ways, our personalexperience of the ‘Babel of confusion’ is very similar, because wherever we are in the world, we feel and relate to the most important human emotions in almost the same way. In any community, our personal bonds, loving connections, particular beliefs, traditions and customs are the most important factors in living together. People are often motivated by good intentions, most of them are not keen on wars, nor do they want to see the planet devoured or the living world destroyed. Yet it’s happening. It is happening all around us, and it’s creating enormous confusion.

BABEL does not tell a story, but depicts an eclecticworld with expressive images and moments, with self-irony and humour, in which people are constantly striving towards a lost state of equilibrium, caught between poles of chaos and conflicting emotions. The desire for harmony is clearly evident even in the upended worldview. The performance depicts the tension between balance and chaos through the contrasting aesthetic qualities of movement, music, and visual effects.
